 The {string} is sent as-is.  The response will be what can be read from the
 channel right away.  Since Vim doesn't know how to recognize the end of the
 message you need to take care of it yourself.
 
 To send a message, without expecting a response: >

 it.

 |jsondecode()| to handle a received JSON message.
